At present work, under initial inventory with Th and U, the evolution of nuclides in subcritical devices under given thermal, fast, hardening fast and fission neutron field are studied without the detail structure of sub-critical device and the burn-up being considered. It is supposed that the subcritical reactor consists of uniform in which the flux of neutron is homogeneous. The fissile nucli...

We study the Brusselator reaction-diffusion model under conditions where the Hopf mode is supercritical and the Turing band is subcritical. Oscillating Turing patterns arise in the system when bulk oscillations lose their stability to spatial perturbations. Spatially uniform external periodic forcing can generate oscillating Turing patterns when both the Turing and Hopf modes are subcritical in...

We prove a Liouville type theorem for sign-changing radial solutions of a subcritical semilinear heat equation ut = ∆u + |u|p−1u. We use this theorem to derive a priori bounds, decay estimates, and initial and final blow-up rates for radial solutions of rather general semilinear parabolic equations whose nonlinearities have a subcritical polynomial growth. Further consequences on the existence ...

We study the propagation of wave packets for nonlinear nonlocal Schrödinger equations in the semi-classical limit. When the kernel is smooth, we construct approximate solutions for the wave functions in subcritical, critical and supercritical cases (in terms of the size of the initial data). The validity of the approximation is proved up to Ehrenfest time. For homogeneous kernels, we establish ...

The starting point of the present work is the observation of possible analogies, both at the phenomenological and at the methodological level, between the subcritical transition to turbulence and the glass transition. Having recalled the phenomenology of the subcritical transition to turbulence, we review the theories of the glass transition at a very basic level, focusing on the history of the...

The RACE Project, which is being conducted within the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Fuel Cycle Initiative (AFCI), is a series of accelerator-driven subcritical systems (ADSS) experiments. These ADSS experiments are being conducted with a compact, transportable subcritical assembly at the Idaho State University’s Idaho Accelerator Center (ISU-IAC) in 2004 and with TRIGA reactors at the Un...

We discuss the fate of certain tachyonic closed string theories from two perspectives. In both cases our approach involves studying directly configurations with finite negative treelevel cosmological constant. Closed string analogues of orientifolds, which carry negative tension, are argued to represent the minima of the tachyon potential in some cases. In other cases, we make use of the fact, ...

Centella asiatica is a tropical medicinal plant with a long history of therapeutic uses, dermal disorders, venous insufficiency and microangiopathy. The substances of therapeutic interest are the saponin-containing triterpene acids and their sugar esters. Two bioactive components, asiatic acid and asiaticoside, were extracted from Centella asiatica using subcritical water as an extraction solve...
